Anyone notice Cain's voice in particular? Sounds like the same guy, (I think it is right?) but he seems like he's exaggerating the voice a lot more than in D2.
Yeah it is same problem as with SC2, bad writing, story for 12yold and plenty one line cheessy talks.
I miss SC/WC3 quality so much.
Thx activision- blizzard ><
It is like Knaak is writing everything for them...

Maybe you should try for example Witcher 1 and 2 before making your bold statement? Plus we do not talk about some indie company but Blizzard.
Yes, the dialogue and voice acting we've heard thus far are truly atrocious. I sincerely hope the story itself is better, but SCII didn't gave me much hope in that regard.
I must agree. Most people were worried that the graphics would ruin the atmosphere, but in all honesty it's the voice work and story telling that actually ruins the atmosphere. Every character is so eager to talk, the lines are always just random one-liners, and the acting is way too over-the-top. Leroic definitely has the worst lines so far. Generic evil-bad-guy lines all the way through. I don't know who the hell thought having him say "YOU WILL NEVER DEFEAT ME" would accomplish anything other than making every player roll their eyes.
I also think it was a bad idea to have the characters use "killing spree" quotes since it really breaks the horror immersion when characters spout one-liners after killing bad guys. Silence is golden in atmospheric games, and everyone is D3 is way too chatty, and corny one-liners is the worst kind of chatty too. Even Cain, despite having the same voice, sounds worse because he feels the need to over-act and talk about "the coming darkness! *dundundun*". I think Leah is the only character I've been fine with so far.
Unfortunately I can't say I'm surprised. SC2 had all of these problems, so I wasn't getting my hopes all that high with D3. I don't know why Blizzard just can't write anymore.
Oh they can write...
checks!
I also very much disapprove of my character talking at all when it isn't story related IE "i'm healed!" "my boldness knows no bounds" or whatever the hell they say during kill streaks its just plain annoying to listen to.
The dialogue is the only thing about D3 that I truly dislike. I have to play with the voice volume muted because its just so ... crap.
I agree, the voice acting sucks even though D1 und D2 were also pretty bad in that regard. But the dialogue writing is what kills me, all the lines are just so laughable und don't evoke even the slightest atmosphere of imminent doom (or whatever you would call it), pretty much all the characters seem to not give any ****s whatsoever about what's going on; I guess people in Sanctuary just got used to stuff like walking dead and demons and **** after D1&2.
As a side note: I will definitely play the game in German which actually has way better voice acting
